Fiber optics uses flexible fibers of glass to transmit light signals that allow for higher bandwidths and longer distances than traditional wires. Optical fibers are as thin as a human hair and carry large amounts of data for telecommunication, television, and computer networking. Fiber optic cables usually consist of a core surrounded by cladding, buffertubes, and an outer jacket. Jonard fiber tools aid in stripping, prepping, connecting, cleaning, and terminating simplex fiber cables, drop cables for FTTH, distribution, and blown fiber cables.
